So that was an example of what moved through part of marin last night although it was more isolated than that well organized line. Lets take that from where it is now and put it into futurecast and show all that impressive rain setting off our coast for the most part is going to miss us and go down to the south, turay, big sur are in for quite the show. As far as the rain falling here locally, we are just barely going to be on the Northern Edge so letcome in for a closer look and play that true one more time. At 5 00, im going to advance this into the next hour and a half and we pick up on perhaps a few isolated showers into the next hour and a half or so but notice where most of the action is to ourselves. Speaking of action in the south, 1 30 in the morning tomorrow, we are not entirely done here and its going to be cold enough that the leftover showers could still come back again and drop a little more like snow up on m that would probly just t. Ha. M another dusting. As far as light rain down in Santa Clara County from that, thats exactly what it would be. We are going to be too far away frteheor comofr enha thail t fr this, we are not entirely done with this rain yet.

Theyll take any donation from the public. Just log on to our website kpix5. Com give. Well put your name right there. And you can add some more zeros on if you want. A lot of generous donors. We had it all overnight. Lightning, dusting of snow, you tell us. You covered the headlines. And we got most of it out of the way before we got into today but not entirely done. Theres still another chance for some light showers as we get into this evening and i want to talk about perhaps another round of light snow. Coming to the mountains down around mt. Hamilton. Before i get into that, lets talk about the morning lows tomorrow because thats going to be something that might catch your attention if youre up early tomorrow morning on the day after christmas. The temperatures are just fine, these are the current numbers. Coldish number is santa rosa 49, keeping the temperatures in line. Not going to drop a whole lot but going to clear the skies overnight. Thats going to allow the temperatures to drop more than they have over the last few nights. Take a look at santa rosa this morning low, back down to 34, look at more of those inland spots like ore and concord rmvedown to 36. Down in san jose, the farther you are away from the bay, colder your numbers are going to be able to drop. So get ready for that tomorrow morning. Noticeably colder, everybody else stays in the low 40s. Lets track this rain, because it is not done by any means. If you look at highdef doppler, thats very impressive. There is very heavy rain and there has been a lot of lightning, no doubt storms are dropping some hail of their own and that will be an issue down in big sur. But as far as were concerned, from where it is now, we are not really seeing much of this rain at this point in the bay. Youve got to get to monterey. Lets put it into the futurecast, see how the Northern Edge of this is still going to try brd g inand you c few light showers showing up across the city in the bay. Maybe a few showers stragglers holding on down in the southbay and its not so much that at 1 30 in the morning weve got a few light showers down in the mountains of santa cruz as much as it is its cold enough and so that could come as snow at the highest elevations. Youve got to be up above 4,000 feet to see it and thats a possibility in the overnight hours. Theres another pink splotch on there. Theres not a whole lot of rain left over with this. As the system moves down to our south and there are clear skies into tomorrow. If we look at the accumulated rain for whats still left, down in the southbay, ben loman gets half an inch and the santa cruz mountains, very few other places are actually getting anything measurable and its even less in the north bay. Anything thats going to fall is going to be in the south, speaking of which, lets call out those higher peaks again for the more likely locations to sea dusting of snow and if we put the futurest on here, theres mt. Hamilton, an inch is a little overdone on the high side but its a good way of coming away with the notion there will still be a light dusting of snow possible early tomorrow morning. From that exiting storm. Daytime highs tomorrow into the a little more snow in the sierra but with this as well, overnight into early tomorrow but not enough to have a major impact on travel. In the sevenday forecast, it is sunshine thursday, friday, saturday. Next chance for rain on sunday, that storm is just a little too far out still to get specifics on details. The thing hasnt even developed. We are going entirely off the forecast models down the pike so it doesnt look like a major storm. But well have mothat. Itsstill nday, thenof thwereek en onof what will probably be a busy travel weekend so well have more of that chance of rain as we get closer to it. Back over to you.
